Ready to go on a journey with me? Ok!
This month is National Salad Month… Which obviously got me thinking about salads… which also got me thinking about… Forks… which got me thinking about the various uses of a fork… you know, aside from shoveling food and combing mermaid hair.
And this thought process lead me to this week’s Things that (P)inspire Me post: Upcycled Silverware (I didn’t say this was a normal person’s thought process).
I have long coveted the crafty skills of those who make silverware wind chimes (a blow torch has been on my Christmas wish list for a few years now). However, in my research I discovered a great many other things the can be done with old silverware. And what I especially love about these projects, aside from the sheer upcycled crafty-ness involved, is the fact that you can get old silverware from thrift stores for pennies (well, maybe quarters).
Want to know where something came from or how to make it? Just click on the image and/or refer to the caption for its original source. Remember that if you Pin, give credit where credit is due (in this case, not The Ginger Penny Pincher).
First, silverware wind chimes…

Love, friendship, and passion are just feelings, which no barometer has ever been found to measure. Yet you are sure that when you think of your relationship with a particular person – say for instance a close friend, who has been showering tons of love and affection towards you – your heart melts like ice on hot Sun. If somebody asks you how much you love her (or him) what can you say? I love her 219.35 kilo grams or 32.68 miles? No way – you just skip that question and the person that questions, by shrugging your shoulders. But only you know how much you love!
Imagine that a close friend of yours, who has been a work-mate for years, is expecting his Wedding Anniversary just about a fortnight. You’ll certainly wish that you have to buy a most suitable and befitting Gift, and immerse your friend in profound happiness, by presenting that Gift amidst the gathering of Wedding Anniversary party.
So your mind starts working fast, as how best you can do that Gifting gesture made memorable.
Instantly your mind pops up the idea that you have to buy only a Silverware Gift Article, because of the formidable plus factors like shining; ever glittering even by slight polishing with cloth; value status and utility on a daily basis etc.
Talking of Silverware Gifts, your task has been made very easy as never before, by the exclusive Online Gift shops. No commuting; no jostling in the crowd; no formal attires to go out – nothing. Just by sitting at home and clicking your mouse, you can land into any such shops, which have on display an array of Silverware Gift items, best suited for being given as Silver Anniversary Gifts; Silver Baby Gifts; Engraved Silver Gifts; and a lot more, including meritorious Silver Corporate Gifts.
What is important is while selecting a Gift article, you should buy an article which is loved by the person receiving it, rather than you love that Gift.
It is fact nevertheless, what you give is not important – small or big or valuable – but only the gesture which augments the strength of relationship. Yet, if your gift is something the recipient has been aspiring for, or loving to acquire, it will certainly add more pep to the gesture of gifting the long-desired Silverware Gift by him or her. It is obvious they will cherish that Gift more than anything they get on the particular occasion of gifting, and cherish your memory so fondly for years.
That reminds us one more thing. The online Gift shops out there have the presence of mind, to feature their product display by their vast experience in selling these fantastic and budget-friendly Silverware Gift items of Engraved Silver Gifts; Silver Baby Gifts; Silver Anniversary Gifts; Corporate Gifts etc., so as to help you choose from them easily.
So start browsing, select your right Silverware Gift. And remember – you escalate relationship one step closer by gifting!

The summer months are approaching fast and soon kids will be out of school.You can keep your kids active and away from the video games by treating them to a day in the park with a picnic lunch.
Picnics do not have to be limited to the park. You can also have your picnic in other locations, such as, the pool, baseball field, soccer field and many other places depending on your plan for that day.
We made two recipes in our Rada Cutlery Test kitchen that will help you pack a perfect picnic for you and your children. Both recipes are fun finger food so the silverware can be left at home.
The first recipe is a refreshingly, sweet apple berry salsa that can be made in minutes. It is the perfect companion to a picnic lunch and can be served with cinnamon pita chips or cinnamon tortilla chips.
What you will need…
- 2 medium apples
- 2 kiwi
- 1 orange
- 2 C. fresh or frozen strawberries
- 2 T. brown sugar
- 2 T. orange juice
- 2 T. apple jelly
- Measuring utensils, paring knife, mixing spoon, food chopper, measuring cup and spoons.
Cooking instructions…
- First dice apples.
- Then use chopper to chop the rest of it. *Note: Your salsa thickness preference will decide how much you chop the salsa. The more you chop the thinner the salsa will be.
- Finally mix all together and serve with chips.
The second recipe is a turkey ranch wrap that is easy to make and your kids can help assemble the wraps. The recipe can be easily modified with ingredients of your choosing. The recipe we used makes four wraps.
What you will need…
Turkey Ranch Wraps
- 8 turkey deli slices
- 4 flour tortillas (7 in)
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup Ranch salad dressing
- Knife (Rada’s tomato slicer is perfect for cutting tomatoes without squishing them)
Cooking instructions…
- Place two slices of turkey on each tortilla.
- Layer with tomato, green pepper, lettuce and cheese.
- Drizzle with salad dressing.
- Roll up tightly.
- Refrigerate or keep in a cooler until you are ready for your picnic or serve immediately.
Along with your picnic lunch pack a craft or activity for your kids to make outside. If you are looking for some ideas here are 60 different summer activities your kids will love. This list includes everything from making homemade stamps to activities like creating a fun obstacle course.

Disposable crockery is everywhere nowadays: the plastic cutlery at the fast-food restaurant, the paper cup at the cafe or the plastic fork that comes with your salad-to-go. After use they end up being thrown in the trash bin and lead to more pollution. Hence we’d like to give you some tips how you can lower the environmental burden (trash) and also save some bucks.
1) Coffee-to-go: use a ceramic / plastic mug that you can clean and re-use. There are hundreds of different mugs out there so the choice is yours. And also the cafes got used to the fact that more and more people prefer to drink their coffea / tea out of their own mugs. And if you want to be even more eco-friendly then brew your coffea / tea at home, fill it in a thermos bottle and take it with you to school / uni / work.
2) Fast food: the French Fries at the fast food restaurant, the salad from the supermarket and other convenience food as a matter of course come with disposable cutlery. But also when you are under way you can use your own cutlery. This way you do good for the environment and your food tastes better with your own silverware. If you want to go even one step further then you can ask the waiter / cashier whether he/she may fill the food directly into your own container (if not shrink-wrapped etc).
3) Picnic: also when having a picnic you can use re-usable cutlery & dishes from home. There are many outdoor shops that sell break-proof camping crockery.
4) Party: save the mone for disposable cutlery / dishes and rather use your own stuff. If that’s not enough then ask your family / friends whether they can lend you some more. And if it going to be a really big party then you can also rent crockery from a party service company.
5) On the road: instead of wrapping your food that you want to take to school / uni / work in cling film / tin foil, you should rather put it in a re-usable container that you can easily clean and reuse.
And by the way:
If there’s really no way around using disposable cutlery / dishes then go for biodegradable ones!

Create a good impression on the homeowner with stylish and useful housewarming gifts. Thoughtful housewarming gifts selected with careful consideration are always appreciated. Consider gifting the recipient durable silverware sets that will help make the dinner table look appealing and well decorated. Here are some pointers to consider while choosing silverware sets as a housewarming gift.
Light silverware is usually preferred over heavier ones, because it’s much easier to use light silverware. Start by deciding on a particular style. The formal set is different from the casual one, which you can use on a day-to-day basis. First, decide on a particular style or pattern. If the homeowner prefers vintage styled silverware, opt for sets that have intricate detailing and an embossed pattern. If the recipient prefers minimal style, opt for silverware with clean lines and sleek designs. When it comes to the number of pieces, it is best to assess the homeowner’s entertaining lifestyle before making a choice. Choose from 20 pieces and 45 piece sets containing serving sets, spoons and forks.
Choose premium quality silverware that is solid. If the homeowner will use the cutlery on a regular basis, make sure the spoons, forks and other items included in the set are thick enough. Durable sets should be chosen as housewarming gifts, since they will last for very long. Another durable and trendy gifting option is the sterling silver set. Sterling silverware sets are quality sets that contain 92.5% sterling silver. You can select a sterling silver set preferably with eight to twelve place settings as housewarming gifts. It is advisable to inspect every piece before making a choice. Look for several aspects like the length of fork tines, depth of the serving bowls, and the amount of detailing and finish before deciding on one.
Personalized cutlery sets can make a great housewarming gift. To add that special touch, monogram the initials of the homeowner or the date of moving in on the silverware set. You can also engrave a personalized message congratulating the recipient for the new house.
Consider these helpful tips while choosing silverware and present the new owner with classic and elegant housewarming gifts!
